Asymmetric protonation of ketone enolates is a convenient alternative to asymmetric alkylation of enolates that allows to convert racemic ketones into their optically active form. Here, we have reported an efficient enantioselective protonation of 2-methyl-1-tetralone lithium enolate catalyzed by salan-type diamines. A broad series of salan-type catalysts were synthesized, including several previously unknown, and subsequently tested in the title reaction. For the first time, a chiral amine used as organocatalyst has shown better results than as stoichiometric protonating agent. Application of only 10 mol% of salan allows to obtain the title ketone with high yield and enantiomeric excess up to 75%. The DFT calculations of the structure of the catalyst and its complex with lithium enolate were conducted, which makes it possible to propose a likely reaction mechanism.

A series of mononuclear salen-sodium anions, as the first examples, were synthesized with tetra-alkyl ammonium as a counterpart cation. These complexes are efficient catalysts for the isoselective ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide; the molecular weights of polymers are under control and molecular weight distributions are narrow when five equivalents of BnOH is used as an initiator. The best isoselectivity value of Pm = 0.82 was achieved at -70 °C. The experimental results together with a density functional theory calculation show that a ligand-assisted activated monomer mechanism is more reasonable than an activated monomer mechanism for this system.

A bis-hypochlorite adduct of a manganese(IV) salen complex having a chiral (R,R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine linkage (2-tBu) is successfully prepared and characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The reactions of 2-tBu with various organic substrates show that 2-tBu is capable of sulfoxidation, epoxidation, chlorination, and hydrogen abstraction reactions. However, the enantioselectivity of the epoxidation reactions by 2-tBu is much lower than that reported for the catalytic reactions by Jacobsen's catalyst. The low enantioselectivity is consistent with a planar conformation of the salen ligand, which is suggested by circular dichroism spectroscopy. This study suggests that 2-tBu is not a reactive intermediate of Jacobsen's enantioselective epoxidation catalysis.
